(Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens)

Sometimes true love has to choose to do what it don't want to do

And sometimes patience has to give up a hanging on

Darling I'll be far away and you'll be wishing I had stayed

After Ruby Madge And Mable send you home

After Ruby settled down and Madge moved back to her hometown

After Mable says you're fool leave me alone

You'll find out how much it hurts and just how much a dream is worth

After Ruby Madge And Mable send you home

[ piano ]

You'll find out what lonely mean but you won't find the broken chain

That once bound our love together proud and strong

You start talking to the walls and count every tear that falls

After Ruby Madge And Mable send you home

After Ruby settled down...
